"...the nude in Antipodes balances a pile of objects on her slender frame: fragments of Mexican masks, Indian deities, and papier-mache skulls for the Day of the Dead. Instead of studying each of these unusual, treasured items individually, Stockdale fuses them together to make one teeming form. Each of the drawings and paintings in this series contains a swarming island of faces: masks which the artists has packed into mounds, like snow or dirt..."
